Air Conditioning, Heating & Cooling in Dandenong.

Higher density is the direction here. The Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme supports significant change and increased residential densities immediately around the Dandenong Metropolitan Activity Centre, and encourages apartment and townhouse developments. Each property type calls for its own approach:

• Townhouses and apartments: one efficient split system per living area, sized to the room, with the outdoor unit placed where the building and any owners corporation allow. In a narrow townhouse that often means a rear courtyard, so access is checked before a model is chosen.
• Detached houses: ducted reverse cycle with zoning, so you heat or cool only the rooms in use, or a multi-head split where roof space is limited.
• Heritage-listed homes: many individual places are on the Heritage Overlay, including houses in Hemmings Street, Pemberton House in James Street and Ordish House in Macpherson Street.

For those listed homes, the planning scheme can require a permit for an air conditioner that is visible from a street (other than a lane) or public park. We plan outdoor unit positions out of street view where possible, usually on a side or rear wall. The listings here are individual places rather than whole heritage streets, so checking your address settles the question quickly.

A small area toward the east of the suburb is mapped as Bushfire Prone Area, with no Bushfire Management Overlay. If your home is in that pocket and you are considering rooftop evaporative cooling, ask about ember protection when we visit.

Before you replace an older heater, check whether Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebates apply, as they may for eligible upgrades. Book a free on-site quote and we will recommend a system that suits your property type.
